I’ve no interest in buying them but wondered how much they cost. It seems to be a closely guarded secret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it got fixed entirely for you, I consider you a lucky man. Pretty much 100%. She looks back on it now and can't believe she was that person.

Mozzavfc Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Our entire company has been working from home for the last 6 months. The amount of people who still haven't got some headphones with a microphone is incredible. Surely they've realised that the echo is coming from their laptop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay decent money for the pallets. The pallets get used again as... pallets. So anyone that is making garden furniture out of pallets is either not up cycling them for any apparent good reason or they are using the absolute worst. if they are using good pallets, I’d suggest they are actually part of a problem causing more trees to be chopped down as there is clearly a decent market for the pallets to be reused time and time again. In answer to your actual question, probably quite a high price because they are aimed at trendy sods who want to be seen as hip recyclers, when in fact they are trendy deforesters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I start seeing a lot more at work now. The wooden palettes get battered and don't last long and fall to bits in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Brum Xmas Market cancelled. I know its for good reasons but its a shame as the build up to Xmas is always nice and the market is part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wandered around ours last year almost shouting "How much!" every few meters. I was going to have a drink while waiting for some mates to turn up for a gig. The drinks were much cheaper in the gig... and we all know what gig prices are like 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't surprise me It is expensive for what it is but its more symbolic for a lot of people... means the start of the Xmas build up and people generally being more social. Thats coming from me, an antisocial old git! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
